The ManvlIle MY srery.

Several gentlemen from Lusk were
queried by a LEADER reporter as to the
status of the investigation of the recent
assassination of o. B. Selden at Manville.
The reply in each case varied but slightly,
and was in effect that there were abso-
lutely no new features in the strange case,
with the exception that the prominent
stock man toward whom circumstances
pointed SO strongly is no longer suspected,
leaving the occurrence more shrouded in
mystery than ever. The officials have
not dropped the case, and will not aban-
don the chase until the dastardly wretch
who committed the cowardly crime is ap-
pretended and meted III the severe pun
ishment which he so richly merits.

BIZ. PftZef ON the Moral and Spiritual
Condition Of the City.

Sunday evening at the Central Presbyterian
church, DR.. Pitzer made the following statements:
'There is in our city, Of churches and missions Of
all denominations according to the last directory

an average 1000 persons this affords sittngs for
$4,000 people. One hundred and fifty five churches
will average $50 each, giving sittings for IS, $50
which added to the %, 600 gives total sitting
pac1ty at the same hour, OF 1915 But all Of
these churches have as many as three, and some
nve services each Sabbath, and the congregations
are different at these different hours so that fair
estimate OF church accommodations Will at least
double these stttings, when the different congre-
cations at di1erent hours are considered; so we

From the Charleston News, February %.
Twenty thousand palmetto heads are lying at
the head Of Adger's wharf. An inquisiuve re-
porter yesterday discovered the fact that they
were destined for New York via the steamship
City of Atlanta. Further inquiries ELECTED the
fact that the palmetto leaves came from the sea
islands of South Carolina, and that they are in
tended for use in the Catholic churches or the
north on Palm sunday. The shipments are made
every year. commencing about Ash wednesday
and ending about Easter. 1t is estimated that not
less than 200, 600 palm branches are shipped from
Charleston every spring.
